Avis Launches Partnership with Air France and KLM's Flying Blue Frequent Flyer Programme

 
On 6 June, Avis Europe launched a new partnership with Flying Blue, the joint Frequent Flyer programme of Air France and KLM with 18,000 daily flights to 900 destinations and over 100 airline and non-airline partners.
 
This new partnership will give over 10 million members of Flying Blue, around the world, access to discounts and special benefits from one of the leading car rental companies.
 
Flying Blue members can earn miles on every qualifying rental worldwide, up to 10% off Avis international leisure rates as well as complimentary upgrades. Travellers flying on Air France and KLM operated services that aren't members of the programme can also benefit from discounted car rentals.
 
Murray Hennessy, Avis Chief Executive said 'We're pleased to be part of the Flying Blue partnership programme and are delighted to offer the members of Flying Blue an excellent range of Avis products and services".
 
As part of the launch programme, Avis has created a dedicated partnership website, www.avis-flyingblue.com where members can earn extra Flying Blue Miles and benefit from special offers and find out more information on the partnership.
 
To celebrate the launch of the partnership, customers renting with Avis can earn an extra 1,500 Flying Blue Bonus Miles for rentals between 1 September and 31 October.  Full details can be found on www.avis-flyingblue.com.
